Justin Timberlake Teases ’20/20 Experience Part 2′

Just six weeks after the release of his critically acclaimed third solo album, The 20/20 Experience, Justin Timberlake has taken to social media to begin teasing the Fall release of his next album.

The 20/20 Experience Part 2 was revealed in the days before Part 1 arrived in stores. No information regarding musical direction or guest appearances has been revealed, but it’s widely known JT and Jay-Z recorded more than “Suit & Tie” during their time together. Now Timberlake has begun to roll out the promotion for his second offering of 2013 by posting a sly photo of himself …

Two Chapels

STREAM: Two Chapels – “Forgotten”

New York City electronic duo, Two Chapels, are currently streaming their second single, “Forgotten,” as they gear up to release their debut EP this Summer.

For fans of artists such as Purity Ring and Belle Mare, Two Chapels idealistically combine Jenn Grossman’s dark, and somewhat melancholy, vocal approach with high-end electro pop production, both of which are displayed wonderfully in “Forgotten.” With eerie synths, a bouncy trip-hop beat and industrial/gothic-like vocals, “Forgotten” has a chilled out atmosphere and catchy hooks, leaving us intrigued by the thought of what Two Chapels has in store for us with their …

SINGLE REVIEW: The Wanted – “Walks Like Rihanna”

Artist: The Wanted
Track: “Walks Like Rihanna”
Album: TBA

2012 brought the resurrection of boy bands and their ability to turn teen girls into deafening scream factories to the television sets, internet browsers, and social media feeds of pretty much everyone on the planet. Even if you’re obsessed with metal and live in a small farming community in South Dakota surrounded by locally-owned businesses and the occasional gas station, there is absolutely zero chance you have made it to this point without hearing the music of, or at least the name of one of the following groups: The Wanted, One …

Kanye West Returns To Twitter; Teases…Something

Kanye West famously deleted all of his tweets at the beginning of October 2012, but everyone assumed it was just another crazy Kanye moment that would soon be replaced by yet another over-the-top publicity move. Generally this would be the case and we would have moved on, but the soon to be father and man behind G.O.O.D. Music kept his word and remained silent. Until Now.

Just after 9 A.M. (EST) today, May 2, Kanye West posted a single tweet on his account that simply reads “June Eighteen.” Kanye did not post a follow-up and, of course, offered no further …

Sean Kingston Debuts “Beat It” Featuring Chris Brown And Wiz Khalifa

Pop master Sean Kingston has returned to the world of Top 40 to release his latest single, “Beat It.”

Featuring appearances from genre heavyweights Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa, “Beat It” is a Summer-ready anthem about hooking up with a sexy lady who wants you to, well, “beat it.” The production of the track is flawless, with plenty of bass and snare to go around, but the song hits rocky waters as soon as the verses begin. The chorus hits hard, but it’s redundant, and weak verses from everyone except Khalifa gives you little to appreciate about the final product. …

B.o.B Debuts “Headband”; Releases Lyric Video

Atlanta’s B.o.B is one of the few artists to successfully make a name in pop and hip hop that isn’t dependent on the other genre to be considered a success. If he wants to write a pop song, he does. If he wants to release a street banger, he does. B.o.B never thinks twice when inspiration strikes and that has given him a lot of success, but I’d be lying if I said his latest was on par with his previous efforts.

Featuring 2 Chainz, “Headband” is a song that seems meant for strip clubs, females needing to be sexualized …

Ray J Has No Shame; Hires Kim Kardashian Lookalike For “I Hit It First” Video

Ray J has been receiving a wealth of publicity over the release and subsequent promotion of his new single, “I Hit It First.” The song features lyrics that most critics claim make direct references to the rapper’s relationship with sex tape star Kim Kardashian, including the line “I had her head going north and her ass going south / But now baby chose to go West,” but Ray J initially denied such claims. In fact, he went so far to fight those accusations up front that he tried telling people the lyrics were simply a story made up …

SINGLE REVIEW: Attila – “Middle Fingers Up”

Artist: Attila
Track: “Middle Fingers Up”
Album: About That Life

I feel like a teenager dealing with their hormones when I think of the way I go back and forth over Attila. On the one hand, no one does party metal quite like them, but on the other hand there is always something to be said for strong musicianship. It doesn’t matter to me if you use your music to push partying or political platforms, all I ask is that you never let cashing in on popular trends get in the way of creating real, original music. Attila have managed …

The Story Changes

STREAM: The Story Changes – “State Lines”

The Story Changes have premiered their lead single off of their forthcoming album, Static And Trembling, over on AbsolutePunk today.

Sure, songs about tour from a midwest pop-punk band have become nothing but a cliché at this point in time, but “State Lines” proves that the band is capable of doing more than what’s been heard over the last several years. This two piece act show that there’s still room to get creative in the genre.
